LIST OF CURRENT STUDIES FOR CHILDREN
Developing Memory and Cognition Lab
Children's Prospective Memory - 3 to 4 year-olds
In this study, 3- and 4-year-old children will be asked to play a series of games that measure memory, self-regulation, and verbal ability online via a video-call platform. The purpose of this study is to examine how children remember to carry out their future intentions and how accurate they are at predicting their ability to fulfill future intentions.
Children will play fun games and interact with a researcher from the comfort and safety of their own home. The session should take about 30 minutes in total. Children’s performance will be video- and audio-recorded via their computer’s webcam.
